Fiscal Note

The 2017 Adopted Capital Budget (Engineering - Ped/Bike, Page 377) included $1.0 million for the construction of a Bicycle Center at the new Government East parking garage as part of the Judge Doyle Square project.  Those funds will also be used to purchase and install equipment and infrastructure required for the functioning and operation of the Center.

 

Resolution ID 48791 selected Freewheel Bicycle Co. as the operator of Madison Bicycle Center.  This resolution authorizes the execution of a lease with Madison Freewheel Bicycle Co. at 216 S. Pinckney Street for the operation of the Madison Bicycle Center on Block 88.

 

Since Freewheel Bicycle Co. is responsible for ongoing operation and maintenance costs, there would be no additional impact to City Operating Budgets.  The City is responsible for maintaining at its cost, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire alarm, and fire sprinkler systems and exterior doors.  The City Parking Division will maintain the systems and structural components that are shared with the public parking facilities, and City Engineering shall be responsible for the cost and maintenance of exterior doors, structures, and systems of the Bike Center that are not located within the above or below grade parking structures.  Future City Parking Division and City Engineering Capital Budgets will reflect any future capital repair needs.

City may Perform. City shall have the right at any time, after ten (10) days’ notice to Tenant (or in case of emergency or a hazardous condition or in case any fine, penalty, interest or cost may otherwise be imposed or incurred), to make any payment or perform any act required of Tenant under any provision in this Lease, and in exercising such right, to incur necessary and incidental costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
